The black tech madman who saves the world

Chapter 263 New Discoveries

After finishing the Mars Science Exchange Summit in the morning, Chen Mengchuan went back to his room to rest a little tired, washed his face, and let himself relax.The content of these scientific summits is very large, and the time is very long. What everyone communicates is very essential, and it is not easy to digest these things.

After shaking off the water from his hands, Chen Mengchuan narrowed his eyes, feeling a little sour at some point.

When he walked out of the room and went to the centralized cafeteria area, he received a voice message from the main control room. This voice message made him stunned, then smiled, and let it go for now, he planned to go to eat first .

The canteens of the Mars base are all centralized, walking in many areas, just after the scientific exchange summit, there are people everywhere eating, drinking and communicating.

Chen Mengchuan took a portion of food. The food is bento style, and the amount is not large. Most of the people pick up the meal according to the weight range suggestion. There are many types of food, not too monotonous, and there are a lot of drinks and vegetable and fruit salads Can be self-collected at any time.

After taking the number for the meal, Chen Mengchuan found Toni and Chen Xiaoyun at the small round table where several people often ate, walked over with the plate, and chatted with the two while eating.

After a while, Xu Shuwei rushed to the cafeteria area and found Chen Mengchuan and the three of them.

"Huh...you are still in the mood to eat! Mengchuan!..." Xu Shuwei gasped.

"People are iron and rice is steel. If you don't eat a meal, you will feel hungry. You are hungry, so you come to eat. It's as simple as that, and it's not a big deal." Chen Mengchuan said with a smile.

"Okay, okay, you're awesome, huh, I've eaten a little bit in the morning, and now I'm so hungry after you say that, no, I'll go grab a lunch first." After Xu Shuwei finished speaking, Just walked towards the self-service food pick-up port.

"Well, I'm a little interested to know what's going on with you." Toni looked at Chen Mengchuan.

When he was talking, Chen Xiaoyun also looked at Chen Mengchuan, with some curiosity in his calm eyes.

Chen Mengchuan smiled, did not answer his question, but raised his head in Xu Shuwei's direction and pouted his chin, meaning that he would speak when Xu Shuwei came.

Toni pushed his glasses and looked at Xu Shuwei.

Xu Shuwei quickly packed the food and came over. He took a large tray with a slightly larger bento inside, a whole fried chicken, a large glass of soda, and a bowl full of fruits and vegetables. salad.

"Aren't you trying to lose weight? Can you eat so much? It won't kill you." Chen Mengchuan rolled his eyes.

"Haha, people are iron and rice is steel. If you don't eat a meal, you will feel hungry. If you are hungry, you have to buy more food. You said it yourself. Besides, look at my body, if I don't eat so much, I won't be able to eat." Are you starving to death? What's more, are there many of these things? It's enough to make you feel full." Xu Shuwei sat down in front of the three of them.Put the large dinner plate on the table.

Watching Xu Shuwei gulp and drank a large glass of soda first, Toni asked him, "Tell me, what happened."

"Haha, Toni, guess what." Seeing that Chen Mengchuan didn't tell the two of them, Xu Shuwei showed off.

"Too lazy to guess, tell me, did you find something good by exploring the multi-armed crab?" Toni asked.

Xu Shuwei smiled so brightly that his chubby body trembled a little.

"We found diamonds in a large crater with a diameter of 230 kilometers in the northern area of ​​Mars! A lot of diamonds! No, no, a lot of diamonds! Those guys in the Geological Research Department are going crazy now. They estimated that The diamond reserves in this crater are surprisingly amazing. It contains rich diamond resources! These diamonds are impact drills, which should be produced when meteorites hit the graphite deposits in the Martian crust. I don’t know how long they have existed. The reserves are very large. It's amazing, it's everywhere after a little excavation, and the size is very... very exaggerated!"

"Now the exploration-type multi-armed crab has begun to explore, and many large diamond bodies have been found. A single diamond weighing tens of kilograms or even hundreds of kilograms has been found."

"However, several experts said that these large diamonds all contain crystalline Lonsdaleite, which is actually an allotrope of carbon with a hexagonal lattice. The average hardness of this type of diamond is higher than that of ordinary diamonds. It is more than 50% higher, and the individual is larger, which is more suitable for industrial and scientific applications. But if it is really sold, it must be a fortune." Xu Shuwei laughed.

Toni glanced at him, didn't speak, and there was no fluctuation in his expression.

"Is it useful? I mean this diamond mine. Do you mean that after you dig it out, you plan to sell it in jewelry stores on Earth?" Chen Mengchuan was speechless.

"Ahem, of course... no, I can't sell it." Xu Shuwei was a little discouraged immediately, and found that the excitement of the diamond mine seemed to be discouraged in an instant.

"Are we short of money? No, besides, how slow do you have to sell so many diamonds when you throw them on the earth? Taking a step back, even if you throw all these diamonds to the seven big diamond giants, they probably won't accept them. It is estimated that the diamonds in their own hands are too many to sell. They don’t even have industrial value. 7 years ago, the General Motors Corporation of the United States had mastered the technology of obtaining artificial diamonds through high temperature and high pressure, and the industrial value of natural diamonds has completely disappeared. At present, the main uses of natural diamonds are limited to jewelry and ornamental." Chen Mengchuan said slowly.

"If you find a large metal mine, you should be happy." Toni also said calmly.

"You guys are such a disappointment." Xu Shuwei tore off a chicken leg from the fried chicken and stuffed it into his mouth.

"It's not completely meaningless. At least we can confirm that there will be a large amount of carbon in this mining area, which can be collected and is a good material for making graphene. From this perspective, it is good news. At least we will The large demand for graphene has been solved." Chen Mengchuan said.

Now that the graphene technology of TODAY has developed faster than before, after the completion of the single crystal graphene technology, the graphene team has pulled out an additional project team, specializing in graphene nanotechnology, and with the degree of attention after the project is established, Nowadays, the number of people is increasing, and a graphene scientific research base has been built on the Mars base, and it is planned to start large-scale research and development of graphene nanotechnology.

Chen Mengchuan is also looking forward to the large number of product directions hanging in the project team...

If graphene nanotechnology can be completed, then many technologies in the future can be promoted faster!
